No ”military justification” for the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki. A negotiated ending is better than ”fight to the death”

MacArthur’s views about the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were starkly different from what the general public supposed ….
When I asked General MacArthur about the decision to drop the bomb, I was surprised to learn he had not even been consulted.
What, I asked, would his advice have been?
General Douglas MacArthur replied that he saw no military justification for the dropping of the bomb.
The war might have ended weeks earlier, he said, if the United States had agreed, as it later did anyway, to the retention of the institution of the emperor.
